Palacio de los Cóndores, Government palace in Maracaibo, Venezuela.

The Palace of the Condors spans two floors with a U-shaped structure, featuring porticos and arcades on its main facade facing Bolivar Square.

Built between 1841 and 1868 under Governor José Escolástico Andrade's initiative, the palace replaced the former city jail and council house.

The reception hall, known as the Hall of Mirrors, witnessed the first performance of the Zulia State anthem in 1909.

The palace serves as the official headquarters of the Executive Power of Zulia State, hosting government offices and civic ceremonies.

The 1926 renovation added condor sculptures at the building corners and created the Patio of Lions with its interior garden.
